Strange, but cool

Ambitious plans have today been launched to turn the iconic Gherkin in London into an actual giant green pickle. A design team has approached the owners of the famous 591ft high (180m) skyscraper with the idea. Pictures of the building - also known as 30 St. Mary's Axe - converted into an enormous bumpy pickle were submitted to bosses at the tower. Turning the icon into a giant pickle wouldn't be an easy task though - a 10-man team and 900 hours of work would be needed to complete the job. [Photo/CFP]
